About me
Welcome to Layups.com!
I have been playing Basketball for as long as I can remember and coaching from the age of sixteen. My blog, Layups.com, has been created to help Basketball lovers from all skill levels to improve their game. I’ve had a basketball in my hands for as long as I can remember, and I started coaching at just sixteen. Basketball has been my passion, my classroom, and my community — and Layups.com is my way of sharing that passion with players of all levels who want to take their game to the next stage.
